Should you encounter an operation problem, call
your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair the

fireplace.
NOTE
When operating your new fireplace for the first time, some vapors may be released due to the burning of curing compounds
used in the manufacture of the appliance. They may cause a slight odor and could cause the flames to be the full height of the
firebox, or even slightly higher, for the first few hours of operation. It is also possible that these vapors could set off any
smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances. We recommend
openning a window to vent the room. After a few hours use the vapors will have disappeared and the flames will be at their
normal height.
During the first hour of use the ceramic firebox walls may go a smoky color. This is not soot. It is a temporary effect lasting
only while the ceramic material becomes stabilized. The walls will revert to their initial color after your fire has been used for
one or two hours.
